Goals and contents

The project "Dortmunder Profil für inklusionsorientierte Lehrer_innenbildung" (Dortmund Profile for Inclusion-Oriented Teacher Education) is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) as part of the joint quality campaign for teacher education by the federal and state governments.The project aims to improve teacher training by restructuring the subject-specific, subject-didactic, educational science and practical school training curricula - for example, through teaching/learning formats that are intended to create accessibility for all learners.The project is being carried out at the TU Dortmund University under the leadership of the head of the Dortmund Competence Center for Teacher Education and Teaching/Learning Research (DoKoLL), Prof. Stephan Hußmann, and the Vice Rector for Diversity Management, Prof. Barbara Welzel. In addition to the DoKoLL, many subjects and subject didactics, the Faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences, the Educational Sciences, the Center for Higher Education (zhb) and the Department of Disability and Studies (DoBuS) as well as the Institute for School Development Research (IFS) are involved. For sports science, Prof. Dr. Elke Grimminger-Seidensticker, Prof. Dr. Jörg Thiele and Dr. Franziska Lautenbach are involved in the project. In our teaching project, which is evaluated with different methodological approaches, the didactics of sport cooperates with the didactics of chemistry and music as well as the rehabilitation sciences in the development and implementation of a course to prepare for the practical semester. In the sense of adaptive learning situations, all student teachers should learn about and theoretically reflect on the inclusive handling of diversity in university courses as well as test and reflect on it in practice. Inclusion is broadly defined and takes into account, for example, general/subject-specific cognitive abilities, ethnic and cultural background, social and economic status as well as physical impairments or special learning needs. The research project in the subject of sport is the qualification project of Franziska Lautenbach: In a quantitative longitudinal study, long-term effects of inclusive teacher training in the subject of sport on implicit and explicit attitudes towards inclusion among students are investigated.
